Bie7i7iials, 



These are plants which, like Annuals, generally die after producing 

 their flowers and seeds, but are two years in perfecting these, and in 

 some instances may be induced to flower for two or three successive 

 seasons by preventing them from going to seed ; their general culture 

 is the same as for Annuals. 



One of the most beautiful is the German Brompton Stock. The 

 greatest improvements have been made in these flowers, and they are 

 now very desirable plants for border or lawn. They are half hardy, will 

 require protection during the winter in northern climates — but will 

 fully repay the care they demand. Any particularly fine plant can be 

 propagated by cuttings, yet they do not always flower as well as those 

 raised from seeds. 



Among the Biennials most deserving of culture are : — 



Canterbury Bells, double and single varieties, hardy. 



Carduus, hardy. 



Humea, elegant, half hardy. 



Hollyhocks, half hardy. 



Hyoscyamus, hardy.
